Dazm66 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Forgive me if this has been asked before (I did a search but couldn't find anything recent), but anyone use a clip on tuner that they would recommend - caveat it must be big and bright!

nige1968 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 TC Polytune Clip. Though I’m not sure what counts as “big” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I've got the TC Unitune one. Same as the polytune aside from the "poly" element that doesn't work on bass. It's very good. As with all clip ones though if other people are playing loud and vibrating the body of your instrument it can get a bit confused sometimes.

Lozz196 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Yep, TC def the best of the ones I’ve tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 The Snark is accurate, bright and cheap but does have a tendency for it's neck to snap off, so be gentle with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 TC Unitune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velarian Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Another vote for the TC Unitune. The display is clear and unambiguous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 TC Unitune is great. Peterson strobe clip-on tuner is my favourite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazm66 Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 Thanks all! Sounds like it’s a big vote for the tc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPJ Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I’ll just chuck in another vote for the Snark, which works great with both regular bass and EUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Snark here. 100% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 There was a time a little while back when the TC clip-on’s were impossible to get, which was rather annoyingly when I was looking to buy one as they are highly rated. I ended up buying a Peterson Strobe Tuner which has been faultless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I would also have recommended the TC clip-on tuner but I have recently discovered that it is impossible to read in bright sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johncee Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I currently have a Snark and a TC Unitune, the TC is well worth the extra cost IMO. No problem reading mine in bright sunlight - Snark is much worse in this respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 TC Unitune or Polytune Clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) I’ve found them all to be very similar. My main one is the Uniclip as recommended by many others but when I bought a 2nd and it got lost in the post I got one of these. I currently carry a cheap no name one I picked up at the only music store I could find in one country. Also seems to work fine. https://www.daddario.com/products/accessories/tuners/micro-headstock-tuner/ Works just as well, screen isn’t as clear as well it’s tiny but the plus side is it’s tiny. I also had my Uniclip leave indentations on the my Ric headstock (more so due to the soft gloss nitro finish) but it’s work noting. Studio and serious live work I have the Peterson Strobostomp HD, rest of the time any of the clips work fine.

warwickhunt Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Korg Pitchblack/Pitchtune or some such name. Clear to read and it can be reversed. ...and it appears to be less than 50% of the TC Edited July 10, 2023 by warwickhunt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
